Team Chants and Custom Sounds for EA Sports FIFA 14 World Cup

The fans have much to be happy about at the World Cup, but do they know enough actual cheers? I say no!

It’s a good news/bad news situation.

The bad news about the EA Sports FIFA World Cup game is that it is only for the previous gen consoles.

The good news is that means you can include custom chants! (it isn’t possible to add custom chants to the PS4/XBone versions).

Here are some custom sounds I have cut, mixed and mastered for use in your very own FIFA World Cup. For instructions on how to insert them into your game, see my earlier post – the FIFA 14 Custom Sounds Guide.

Unfortunately the custom chants system in the FIFA 14 World Cup game isn’t without problems. Hopefully you will have fewer problems than me, but this is what I have observed.

The chants play A LOT, I strongly recommend including one or more tracks of complete silence within your chant playlists in order to space things out a bit. I have included a link to 10s of silence below (just before the playlists).

The game doesn’t seem to be able handle having more than a couple of playlists to consider. Any more than that and I’ve experienced problems with it retaining the attachment of playlist to event, laggy play and even complete system crashes. This isn’t having multiple playlists loading into a single game or team, simply having 3-4 teams with their own playlist seems to create issues. I suggest picking one or two teams that you want to have extra colour, and sticking with that.

The game really doesn’t like attaching sounds to the first team, alphabetically, in each confederation. So teams like Argentina and Algeria are very problematic.

Once again, I give credit to the unknown people who sang and recorded these sounds. I have come across them from a variety of sources including fanchants.co.uk (who I strongly support you to visit for more excellent chants) and the legendary Pro Evolution Soccer modder Thommsen.

To download – right click on the name of the track you want, and choose “Save link as” you should be prompted to download a .wav file.

You should be able to right click on the titles of the tracks and then download by choosing “Save link as”. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you – I may need to come up with another way of loading them into the post.
